The Intergalactic Federation of Kordesia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lil Thanos with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.353 billion Kordesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apocalypse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kordesian economy, worth 270 trillion snickers bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 199,607 snickers bars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 607,907 per year while the poor average 50,867, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, and books are so highly regarded in Kordesia that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kordesia's national animal is the School Shooter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thanosan.
